VCX

I am nominating this entry as a failure of WP:SPAM. The article has been written by a user with the organization's name. They are using an affiliate link to track the amount of traffic comeing to them via the article. I did not bring this deletion via speedy as I anticipated the creator would want to comment.--Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 23:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Debbie Does Dallas is probably one of the most well known porns around. Not sure that merely distributing the movie makes a company notable. Delete unless notability can be show. Koweja 23:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A note from the article creator: VCX is an adult film production studio and distributor that's been in business for 25 years now. VCX own the rights to Debbie Does Dallas, The Devil In Miss Jones and hundreds of other classic adult films from the 70s and 80s. Many of these films are still very popular today, which is why there are Wiki pages regarding them. VCX does their own wholesale distribution as well as video production. Whether the Wiki page is created/monitored or maintained by us or someone else -- there should probably be a page about VCX on Wikipedia (because of Debbie and Devil, if nothing else). If a page explaining the company responsible for some of the most popular adult films ever bothers fellow wikians so much, go ahead and delete it so it can get recreated at a later date by someone else (saying the same info, showing the same logo, having the same external link). We are here to make Wikipedia a more useful place, not some spam infested sewer. --VCX Ltd Inc 23:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Just a note- no-one owns any article, have a look at the WP:OWN policy. The two movies noted above are notable, perhaps even iconic, but owning the rights doesn not make the corproation notable.--Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 00:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

* Woops, semantics.. "Article Creator" I fixed my comment so you don't get the wrong idea... What does make a corporation/manufacturer notable besides their works/products? --VCX Ltd Inc 15:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
